E-NORMAN, Oklahoma — Lokhu kwekwindla, noma mhlawumbe entwasahlobo, lapho i-Sooners iqala ukudlala, izophawula isizini yayo yama-20 kusukela ekugcineni kompetha bakazwelonke. Umjaho omude kakhulu phakathi kompetha emlandweni walolu hlelo kusukela baqala ukufika phezulu ebholeni lasekolishi. .
Nokho, ake sicacise ukuthi kunezinye isomiso esithathe isikhathi eside. Sathatha iminyaka engu-18 kusukela lapho umqeqeshi oyinhloko u-Bud Wilkinson agcina efinyelele esicongweni kwaze kwaba yilapho umqeqeshi oyinhloko uBarry Switzer enza umhlangano wakhe wokuqala. isicoco sikazwelonke kanye nesesithathu somqeqeshi oyinhloko u-Bob Stopps esokuqala, futhi kwavela ukuthi sekuzothatha wonke amamabula .
Kuthathe iminyaka eyi-10 yaseSwitzerland ukujoyina uWilkinson futhi yanqoba isicoco sesithathu esingaqondakali ngo-1985. Abaningi babezibuza ukuthi lokhu kuzokwenzeka yini.
Kanye ne-OU, yi-Alabama kuphela (1964-65, 1978-79, 2011-12) kanye ne-Nebraska (1970-71, 1994-95) ewine ngaphezulu kwe-AP National Championship elandelanayo enkathini yesimanje. I-Alabama kuphela (1961, '64-'65; 2011-12, '15, '17), Miami (1983, '87, '89) kanye ne-Notre Dame (1946-47, '49) ene-OU yezimangalo ezabiwe ngokuhlukana okungenani ama-AP National Championship amathathu eminyakeni eyishumi efanayo esikhathini samanje.
I-Crimson Tide kuphela, ene-11, enama-AP National Championship amaningi kune-Crimson ne-Cream ezikhathini zanamuhla.I-Notre Dame iboshelwe ne-OU kweyisikhombisa.
Kodwa i-Sooners iphakathi nesomiso esinamandla esingenakushaywa indiva. Ithimba labaqeqeshi, abalandeli, abathuthukisi kanye nabo bonke abahambisana nalolu hlelo ngeke bakushaye indiva lokhu. iningi - izinhlelo emlandweni webhola lasekolishi.Ngalokho engqondweni, yisikhathi sokujula, kungani, kanjani, nokuthi isomiso singaphela futhi singaphela kanjani.
Indoda ehlakaniphile yake yathi, “Ngincamela ukuba nenhlanhla kunokuba nomusa.” Ngawo-1930s, umjikijeli we-New York Yankees u-Southpaw Gomez waqamba igama futhi wasebenza njengaleyo ndoda ehlakaniphile. Futhi, ukukhuluma kahle, unenhlanhla futhi unomusa. Wayeyinkanyezi kasikhombisa, uMqhele Kathathu, kabili- Umpetha we-American League wesikhathi, umpetha we-AL izikhathi ezimbili, umpetha we-AL owine izikhathi ezintathu futhi wahamba 189-102 nge-ERA engu-3.34 Irekhodi lokushaywa okungu-1,468 kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe. phakathi kuka-1932 no-1939. Wayenenhlanhla futhi emuhle kakhulu.
Ngokushesha futhi kube kuhle kakhulu, uma kungekuhle, engxenyeni engcono kakhulu yeminyaka engamashumi amabili edlule. Ngeminyaka yawo-2000, ngokusobala bonke beqeqeshwa ama-Stoops, babe nephesenti lokuwina elimangalisayo .821, isithathu esihle kakhulu kunoma iyiphi ishumi leminyaka emlandweni wabo. umlando.Iminyaka yawo-1950 no-1970 kuphela eyayingcono.
Banokunqoba okungu-11 noma ngaphezulu kumasizini angu-8 kanye nokunqoba okungenani okungu-12 kumasizini angu-5. Okukodwa, kunjalo, kwakuyi-run ephelele ye-13-0 endleleni eya ku-2000 National Championship.
I-Sooners iwine imiqhudelwano eyisithupha ye-Big 12, okuhlanganisa i-3-peat kusukela ngo-2006-08. Badlale endishini ngayinye kwezine ze-BCS, ngaphandle kweyesiThupha Kancibijane eyodwa yamanje, ewina ku-Orange, Cotton kanye noRose.
Ngawo-2010, akukho okuningi okushintshile.Kumasizini wokugcina ayisikhombisa we-Stoops kanye namasizini amathathu okuqala omqeqeshi oyinhloko u-Lincoln Riley, bangu-109-25 ngephesenti lokuwina elingu-.813. Ukuwina okukodwa okuncane kanye nokulahlekelwa okunye kuzolingana nalokhu. amashumi amabili eminyaka nalabo abakukholomu yokulahlekelwa.
Inikeze i-Sooners 9 imikhankaso yokuwina i-10, i-7 yayo yaba nokunqoba okungenani kwe-11 futhi 4 yayo yaba nokunqoba okungenani kwe-12 W. U-Riley akakaze aqede ngokuwina okungaphansi kwe-12 emsebenzini wakhe osemusha kuze kube manje.
Kulokhu, nakuba amanye ahlanganisa inkathi ye-BCS kuphela, ama-Sooners ayekhonjiswe kuzo zonke izitsha eziyisithupha zikaNcibijane. Bawine i-Fiesta noShukela (kabili) futhi balahlekelwa uCotton, Peach, Rose kanye ne-Orange (kabili) - sizothola okwengeziwe umzuzu.
Ehlanganisiwe, amabili kuphela amanye amaphrojekthi asebenze kangcono jikelele kusukela ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yeminyaka. Ngamaphesenti angu-.817 okuwina kanye namaphesenti angu-219-49 awinayo, i-Sooners ilandela i-Boise State kuphela (219-43, .835) kanye ne-Ohio State ( 217-43, .834) ukuthola irekhodi elihle kakhulu ezweni.
Ngabe ngibalule ukuthi balungile? Kodwa ngenhlanhla, hhayi kangako. Manje, esikhundleni sezaba ezimbalwa emva kwesinye, sizoxoxa ngezinye izizathu eziningi zokuthi kungani bengakwazi ukukuxazulula, kodwa inhlanhla iyonke ibingekho kubo. ohlangothini.
Ake siqale ngesizini ka-2003. I-Sooners yasusa cishe yonke into eyayisendleleni yabo, okuhlanganisa, njengoba ungase ukhumbule, ukushaywa kwe-Texas A&M's 77-0 shelling. Emidlalweni yokuqala engu-11 emqhudelwaneni we-Big 12, i-Alabama kuphela esele phakathi kwedijithi eyodwa, futhi iColorado kuphela ehlulwe nabo ngamaphuzu amabili noma ngaphansi.Umdlali wasemuva u-Teddy Lehman usebize kaningi leli qembu ngokuthi yiqembu elingcono kakhulu ake walidlalela, futhi ngokwengxenye enkulu, ubani ozophikisa lokho?
“Uma ubheka emuva, phezulu kuye phansi, yiqembu eliphelele,” kusho u-Lehman, osehlulwe imidlalo eyisithupha isiyonke kulo lonke umsebenzi wakhe.” Ulayini ohlaselayo muhle kakhulu; i-quarterback muhle kakhulu; umamukeli obanzi muhle kakhulu. Ekupheleni kokuzivikela, zontathu izigaba, i-D-line, i-linebacker nesesibili, unabadlali abanekhono nesipiliyoni esiningi.”
Lonke lelo thalente, elihlaselwe inhlanhla ethile, libonise ukuwa kwabo, kwaqala ngokuhlulwa ngo-35-7 ku-Kansas State emqhudelwaneni we-Big 12. Kodwa ake sibuyele emuva kancane kuqala. Luqine kangakanani lolu hlu? Awu, i-ESPN ithunyelwe lonke iqembu kusenesikhathi ukuze liphumelele nethimba labaqeqeshi, lincoma i-OU ngokuba yiqembu elingcono kunawo wonke.
“Besiqala ngqa ukubona lokhu, futhi safana nokuthi, 'Hhayi-ke, mhlawumbe siyaphila,'” kusho u-Lehman.” Sasusa unyawo lwethu kugesi, kusobala futhi kulula. Manje, angikusoli kumqeqeshi. Ngikusola ngamaphesenti angu-100 kubadlali. Lokho akufanele kube nandaba, ngicabanga ukuthi kunjalo. Ngicabanga ukuthi leyo yinto ehamba phambili eqenjini. Ngesinye isikhathi othile wakhululeka wathi, 'Hhayi-ke, mhlawumbe sesiphumelele.'”
Ibuyela ekulahlekelweni okushaqisayo kwamaphuzu angu-28 kwe-Big 12, i-OU ishaye igoli lokuqala. Lokho akuzange kunciphise umfutho wabo wokungenela Umqhudelwano Kazwelonke we-BCS, kodwa kwehlise ikhono labo lokuwina. I-quarterback eyawina i-Heisman Trophy, u-Jason White, ihlangabezane nembibizane. intambo esandleni sakhe ephazamise imizamo yakhe ebhekene neTigers, eshaywe ngamasaka amathathu kanye namaphasi angu-13 kwabangu-37 ngaphandle kokuthinta phansi. Udlule amayadi angu-103 ngokuphambana okubili. Kamuva u-Stoops uveze ukuthi waphuka uzwane ku-Sugar Bowl, ukusebenza okuphambene kakhulu kweningi lesizini.
“UJason akashongo, nathi futhi,” kusho uStoops.” Ngokusobala, [isandla sakhe] sifakwe ukhonkolo, ngakho-ke asisihle. Unesandla esikhubazekile kusukela ku-Big 12 Championship. Kodwa le ngane iqinile, futhi ilwela noma ngabe sekwenzenjani.”
"Ngicabanga ukuthi lokho kube yisici esikhulu kuJason," kusho uLehman. “Uyazi washayeka phansi. Waphuka isandla, angazi, waphuka ubambo. Bengingazi nokuthi uneYini, kodwa uyaklabalasa futhi alwe. Ngakho-ke kuyisici. Manje, ingabe ukuphela kwesici? Lutho neze. Kufanele sikwazi ukuya lapho, ngokubona kwami, sishaye laba ababili ku-50 Team % noma ngaphansi. Yilokho engicabanga ukuthi singcono kakhulu kunabo bobabili, kodwa kusobala ukuthi akunjalo.”
Masiqhubekele phambili eminyakeni embalwa. I-OU yaziqhenya ngecala elikhulu kunawo wonke emlandweni webhola lasekolishi, njengomnqobi we-Heisman Trophy uSam Bradford, ogijima emuva u-DeMarco Murray, u-Jermaine Gresham oqinile kanye nomugqa olimazayo - u-Trent Williams ungomunye wabo - ubukhulu i-interstate engavula izintuba.Icala libe ngokokuqala ngqa ukuthola amaphuzu angaphezu kwangu-60 emidlalweni emihlanu eqondile, laze lamiswa ukuvikela okunonya kwaseFlorida kanye nenani elimangalisayo lokulimala okubalulekile.
I-OU ingene kumdlalo womqhudelwano we-Big 12 ngokuwina okuyisithupha okulandelanayo ngemuva kokuhlupheka okuwukuphela kwayo kwesizini kumdlalo we-Red River ibhekene ne-Missouri. Inezinga eliphezulu kakhulu le-BCS ekuhlanganisweni kwezindlela ezintathu okuhlanganisa i-Texas State kanye ne-Texas Tech, ithola indawo. emqhudelwaneni.UMizzo ube namathuba amaningi okuwina e-Kansas City ngalobo busuku njengoba ngenza ngesikhathi ngingena eringini ngibhekene noMike Tyson.Amaphuzu okugcina: 62-21.
Kodwa indaba enkulu bekungekhona ukunqoba kwamaphuzu angu-41 kanye nenjabulo eyalandela, kodwa ukulahlekelwa umdlali ocishe waba namayadi angu-1,400 kanye nokuthinta phansi okungu-18 emdlalweni. Umugqa wamayadi angu-36 ekupheleni komdlalo.Ngeke akwazi ukuphinde angenele umqhudelwano Kazwelonke we-BCS eSouth Beach.
Impela, u-Ou uchithe amathuba amaningi ebhekene neFlorida, kodwa ukungabikho kwakhe kube neqhaza. Esigabeni sesibili, ngemuva kokugijima okubili ngempumelelo eya kulayini oyi-1-yard, u-Kevin Wilson uzame ukuhambisana noChris Brown, wangamnaka uGresham, oshaye igoli. ngaphambili futhi waphinda washaya futhi, futhi amaGators ammisa amabili. Izinga lesibili. Kanye naleyo ndawo yomugqa wamagoli, lapho ebengashaya khona elilodwa kulawo ma-runs amane noma athole ibhola ngemuva, i-OU iphuthelwe kakhulu ngethuba elikhulu lokudlala lika-Murray.
Esiwombeni sesibili, u-Tim Tebow kanye ne-Gators basebenzise imali enkulu kuwo wonke lawo ma-turnovers. Uhlele umdlalo wemidlalo engu-13, wamayadi angama-75 u-Percy Harvin awuvale ngokuthinta oku-2-yard ngasekupheleni kwekota yesithathu, kanye nombhangqwana, kanye nokuqina. ukuzivikela, kwaba indaba yamanqamu angu-24-14, Hhayi icala le-high-octane le-Sooners.
“Njengoba ngingadlali, ngicabanga ukuthi ngingakusho lokho,” kusho uMurray muva nje ebuzwa ukuthi ngabe u-Ou ubezowina yini uma edlala.
Akukona konke ukubhujiswa okungenakho okungenani uhlobo oluthile lokuzilimaza. Kodwa azihlukani futhi.
Manje, angiphakamisi nakancane ukuthi lo mdlalo uzodlalwa ngandlela thize, kodwa kungaba ubuwula ukunganaki umthelela womdlalo oyingqopha-mlando njenge-BCS National Championships ka-2004-05. Uvikela owawina i-Heisman u-White washayela i-OU ngezansi kwesokudla futhi washaya umamukeli obanzi u-Travis Wilson ngokuhola okungu-7-0 okuqede ikota yokuqala lapho umamukeli u-Mark Bullard Leigh ekhetha ngendlela engaqondakali ukuba semgqeni wakhe wamayadi angu-6. -19 i-romp eSouth Beach.
“Angazi ukuthi kungani uMark enze lokho,” kusho uStoops.” Ngimangele njengawo wonke umuntu enkundleni. Ukuchaza kanjani? Angazi. Ibuyela ebholeni lePop Warners. UMark kwakufanele enze isinqumo esingcono. Ngeke ngihlale lapha ngihambe phambili phambi kwabo bonke abezindaba kude, kodwa kubi njengoba kwenzeka manje.”
Kamuva uBradley wathi: “Kwakumane kuyiphutha lami eliwubulima. Ngithe ngingakakwazi ukuthi kwenzakalani ngibone unompempe ekhomba ngakwiSC. Kwadingeka ngiphile nayo, kodwa ngangingeke ngiyivumele ingikhungathe kuze kufike lapho Iphuzu lapho ingeke isebenze khona. Izinto ziyenzeka. Kumele uye phambili.”
Esikhathini esisha emqondweni we-Sooner Nation, i-No. 2 Sooners idlale uNombolo 3 we-Georgia State ku-Rose Bowl ka-2018. Bahole ngo-31-14 ngasekupheleni kwekota yesibili ngemuva kokuthi u-Riley eqede kahle kwabanye, nganoma yisiphi isizathu, manje. kuphela uyibize ngokuthi “i-Philadelphia ekhethekile.” U-Quarterback Baker Mayfield uphendulele ku-H unogada u-Dimitri Flowers, ojikijele umamukeli omkhulu u-CeeDee Lamb, ogijimele kwesokudla sakhe futhi waphonsa iphasi elifushane endaweni evulekile e-Mayfield endaweni yokugcina. izingalo zakhe eduze komugqa wokubungaza, futhi babonakala bemiselwe umdlalo wabo wokuqala womqhudelwano kazwelonke kusukela ku-Orange Bowl ephoxekile bebhekene namaGators eminyakeni eyishumi edlule.
O, kodwa kwabe sekufika inhlekelele. U-Austin Seibert ubethembekile ngazo zonke izindlela kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe, kodwa ngandlela thize akazange asebenzise i-squib u-Riley ayeyifune ngendlela engaqondakali ngemva kwesikhashana. ukudlula okufushane okuseceleni kanye negoli lenkundla yerekhodi le-Rose Bowl elingamayadi angu-55, uRodrigo Blankenship kanye “nezinja” babe nomfutho.
“Mhlawumbe ibanike ijusi encane,” kusho uRiley.” Bakwazile ukusintshontshela ezintathu. Bekuwucingo oluhle. U-Austin wenza umsebenzi omuhle kulabo. Uvele wangadlali kahle wagcina eqonde kubafana babo okungenye yezinto ongeke uzenze. into, futhi sikwenzile. ”
Bathathe lowo mfutho bahamba phambili ngamaphuzu ayisikhombisa ngekota yesine, kodwa kwasulwa ngokushesha ama-Clippers futhi ekugcineni baphenduka eyabo i-TD ehamba phambili. U-Riley, nokho, ukhethe ukungadlali indawo yesine no-1 esikhathini esengeziwe ngenxa yokuthi i-touchdown. ngabe iphelile, futhi amaBulldogs avimbe igoli lensimu likaSeibert ngezikhathi ezingeziwe ezimbili, ngaphambi nje kokushaya kwamayadi angama-27 kwaSony. U-Michelle TD ugijime ngaphambi kokuphela.
"Eshu" izikhathi zingase zingabi njalo enkundleni. Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi umzuzu othi "eshu" ngaphandle kwenkantolo uholela enkathini ethi "eshu" enkantolo. Eminyakeni emithathu edlule, phakathi nesizini ye-2014, i-Sooners isashaya i-Alabama ku-Sugar. Bowl, 45-31, emasontweni ambalwa edlule ku-Iron Bowl emdlalweni odumile wamabhola ayisithupha. ethukile.Ekunqobeni ngamaphuzu angu-14 kuTide, uTrevor Knight ham.
Ungene ku-2014 njengombangi we-Heisman. Wayeyindoda ethandwayo hhayi e-Norman kanye ne-405 kuphela, kodwa kulo lonke izwe.Waduma kakhulu kangangokuthi ngosuku lomdlalo wasekolishi, u-Katy Perry wamtshela ukuthi amshayele lapho ethatha i-Sooners ku-TCU Horned Frogs. umdlalo.
Kuyafana nangesizini ngemuva kokuphazamiseka kweziqhumane (wakhetha ukungamshayeli ucingo).Ngalolo suku, i-Sooners iphazamise u-37-33 e-Fort Worth, ukuhlehliswa komgwaqo kwakamuva kwaze kwaba yilapho behlulwa ngo-48-41 bebhekene ne-Kansas State ngesizini edlule ephazamise ikusasa labo. 2014 umkhankaso.
Futhi, ukuze kungasho lutho, bahlulwe ngo-34 kabili ngokumelene ne-Baylor kanye ngokumelene noClemson eRussell Athletics Bowl.Ngalowo nyaka, balahlekelwa ingqikithi izikhathi ezinhlanu.Kodwa ngemva kokuwina lowo mdlalo, mhlawumbe umfutho waqhubeka, uMichael Hennicourt akazange. 'ngiphuthelwe iphuzu elengeziwe lekota yesine futhi ngadubula ngokumelene ne-Kansas State, futhi izinto bezihlukile ngokulandelayo.mhlawumbe nje.ngubani owaziyo?Mhlawumbe akunjalo, kodwa eshu, Maduze ngikwenzile futhi.Leyo enye inkanyezi ye-pop, kodwa uyawuthola umqondo.
"Ngisola uKaty Perry," kusho uMayfield ngesizini yakhe ebomvu ngemuva kweminyaka emithathu.
Ngaphezu kwethalente elikhulu, uhlelo lukaPatty Gasso lwe-softball lwe-OU luwine imiqhudelwano kazwelonke emine, emithathu yayo kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, njengoba beqhamuka namaqhinga afika ngesikhathi lapho kudingeka. ngesilinganiso esiphezulu.
Emdlalweni kazwelonke womqhudelwano, uhlelo lwebhola lezinyawo olusheshayo alunazo izakhi zofuzo ezibalulekile ezifanayo.Ku-Big 12, nganoma yisiphi isizathu, lunalo, kodwa alugcini lapho.
Nakuba ukulimala kungasolwa, u-White kanye nama-Clippers bathole ithuba ku-Sugar Bowl ka-2004. Njengoba kusele imizuzu engaphansi kwemithathu, uketule owayegijima emuva u-Cojuan Jones endaweni yokugcina nge-third down, kwase kuba ukudlula kwakhe phansi kwesine kumamukeli u-Mark Clayton. wabanjwa. wisa.
“Ngaso sonke isikhathi uma silahla umdlalo, sasazi ukuthi icala lethu lilungile ngokwanele ukubhekana nalo, futhi akukaze kube [nokungabaza],” kusho u-Lehman.” Angikaze ngicabange ukuthi ngizohlulwa noma yimuphi umdlalo engiwudlale ku-OU, noma ngabe amaphuzu, noma sigcine sihluliwe eminye imidlalo. Bengisabona sengathi sizowina njalo. . Emidlalweni emibili edlule, bekungenye yezinto ezixakile abahlale bephumela obala bezozifakazela ukuthi ayikho noma nini uma siyidinga.”
Ngokubulala okungcono, i-Sooners ibingathola amaphuzu amaningi e-Florida State ngesikhathi sekhefu ku-Orange Bowl yango-2009. Ngokweqile, ibingakhuphuka okungenani ngokuphindwe kasithupha. igcine izinto zithole amaphuzu ayisikhombisa lilinye.Ilandela ngemuva ngo 17-14 kwikota yesine futhi ibhekene nakabili nayisikhombisa ngesikhathi sekhefu, uBradford uphinde waqokwa, okuholele ekuthinteni okucishe kwayivala.
Abaningi abakhumbula amaphuzu okugcina bangakhohlwa ukuthi empeleni i-OU ihole uClemson ngesikhathi sekhefu ekubonakaleni kwabo kokuqala kwe-CFP ngo-2015. Naphezu kokungabi nabasebenzi abambalwa emiseleni, kube nedrama kulo mzamo wesiteji esikhulu. Ilandele ngemuva ngo-23-17 ngo-5: U-28 usele kwikota yesithathu ngesikhathi ogijima emuva u-Samaje Perine ethatha ibhola e-Mayfield futhi wenza izinguquko ku-Clemson 30's yesine no-1. igcwele amaphutha.UMayfield wabe esejikijela ipiki abeyishayela u-OU wasabisa ngokuthi uzophinde ayinciphise ibe umdlalo owodwa.
Ku-Rose Bowl ka-2018, kubukeka sengathi i-OU ingase ishintshe lapha.Ukubhekana ngqo ne-Georgia, i-OU igcine yenza umdlalo futhi yagcina ngokuwina owodwa kuleyo midlalo njengoba umdlali wasemuva uCaleb Kelly eshwiba ibhola esuka kuMichel futhi. ezokuphepha uSteven Parker walithatha waphuthuma endlini. Ukuhamba phambili ngo-45-38 ngo-6:52 kwesokunxele. Hhayi ngempela, njengoba icala elinamandla le-Sooner ekugcineni alikwazanga ukuqhamuka nokungqongqoza kokuqala, obekungabeka "inja" ekusekeleni impilo, bese ukuzivikela akukwazanga ukukumisa. futhi, futhi okunye kuwumlando.
Ziningi izifundo okufanele uzifunde. Yebo, ungadlali ngemuva. Futhi, ukuze uwine le midlalo, kufanele, kufanele, ubambelele.
Kuzoba buhlungu, kodwa ngeke sikuzibe okusobala. Kwesinye isikhathi ithuba lisuke libekwe etafuleni ngandlela thize, futhi i-OU ayilisebenzisi ngokugcwele.
